Arsenal are interested in signing Chelsea star Kai Havertz in the summer transfer window, football.london understands. The Gunners are looking to strengthen their squad considerably this summer as Mikel Arteta seeks to form a squad capable of competing in both the Premier League and Champions League.
The 24-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge from Bayer Leverkusen in 2020 for a fee of around £70million and played a key role in helping Chelsea to win the Champions League in his debut season. Havertz was the Blues' top scorer last season - scoring nine goals - but struggled for consistency throughout the 2022/23 campaign.
Havertz is viewed as a player who could help Arsenal close the gap to Manchester City, but his price tag could be an issue. Chelsea are hoping to recoup the same fee as they paid for Havertz three years ago if they allow him to leave Stamford Bridge.
